| - First let me start by saying that I am EXTREMELY lenient when it comes to service at restaurants because I had worked on that end of the food/beverage spectrum for years... but this place really needs to work with their wait staff on their serving skills (anticipation of the command, pre-busing, checking back in decent time intervals, etc). Upon arriving to the restaurant I met some friends who were already seated, and I was greeted by one of them with the statement, "Hey! Order your drink/food now because we've been here about 30 minutes and are JUST getting our waters..." assuming my friends were just being high maintenance I shook it off as always..but no joke the first drink took about 25 minutes, the second took about 20 minutes (and this was after multiple reminders to the server). The food we ordered as a group came out in shifts so that at one point some of our group was almost finished with their food by the time others had just begun.
I ordered the Korean short ribs which were flavorful but no where near as tender as I'd hoped, and honestly I feel like the meat was no better than the Hawaiian steak I get from the Aloha Grill for half the price.
I also ordered the Kimchee fried rice, which was tasty, but again I feel as if I've had better for less. I'm a "foodie" so I can appreciate costly food when it's worth it, and again, these dishes were good... BUT I don't know if the pricing was accurate (personally for me).
On the POSITIVE side:
1) I ordered the Silk Road (beverage) and ordered a second because I liked it so much. The drink was amazing and refreshing, with a little spicy kick. For $9 the drink was pretty good, but could have been a little larger (it came in an almost 4-5oz coffee looking mug, but $9 in Vegas for any decent drink is doing well).
2) This beautiful girl who I believe was a hostess or manager brought us out complimentary Watermelon salads as appetizers due to our wait. The Watermelon Salad with Goat cheese is amazing as everyone on this site has said, and I actually ordered one of my own even after the freebies.
3) The staff was extremely nice, and our server a sweetie (believe his name was Andrew?)
In closing, if you don't mind a long wait it's totally worth a try, but I won't be rushing back any time soon.
